I just picked up a blaster and I want to delete the oil pump and use premix like my banshee. do I need to buy a kit or can I just unplug the electrical connections and block off the two hoses with bolts? Will this work so I can use remix?
oil block off questions

ok ,I just removed the oil tank and unplugged the electrical connectors to it. I cut the fat oil tube by the case cover and plugged it with a bolt. Do I have to cut the small tube going from the side case to the carb and plug that too? Do I need to do anything else to run premix safely?

thats exactly what ive done; removed the oil tank, clipped the thicker hose and plugged it with a bolt. Ive had no problems at all and have had it done a while now. I am eventualy going to take the oil pump gear out of the pump so it no longer "pumps" but what me and you have done right now is perfectly fine.
cool, do I have to do anything with the small hose leading from the case cover to the carb?
dtdyno.com has a block off kit for 22.00, now where your homemade set up will last for awhile, maybe even the life of the bike, but for 22.00 bucks why not do it the right way, remove the pump, etc. I'm not bashing on the way people do things-just that with something like oil injection, removing it properly could save you some serious problems in the future.
yes you need to block the small line to the carb off too! and i would silocone around the hoses going into the pump cover instead of putting screws in them, and i would make sure the hose ends are down inside the pump cover just to better prevent dirt from getting in!
Plus, removing the gears and pump will make the quad lighter, 5lbs here, 5lbs there...makes a difference when you are racing. 324lbs can be reduced to 300lbs!

if you dont seal the hose going into the carb you will draw extra air into the carb and run leaner... just buy the kit its only 22 bucks and your better off it only takes like 30minutes and transmission probally needs the fluid change anyways
